Two men arrested under Official Secrets Act

 

Two men have been arrested under the Official Secrets Act, police have confirmed, amid claims a parliamentary researcher was spying for China.

 

The Sunday Times reported one of the men, in his 20s, was a researcher with links to several Tory MPs.

 

He and another man in his 30s were arrested in March, the Met confirmed.

 

On Sunday morning, No 10 said Rishi Sunak had expressed concerns about Chinese interference to a senior official from China.

 

A spokesperson said the prime minister had met Chinese Premier Li Qiang during a G20 summit in India, and "conveyed his significant concerns about Chinese interference the UK's parliamentary democracy".

 

Chinese President Xi Jinping is not attending the summit.

 

The arrested man is alleged to have had links to security minister Tom Tugendhat and foreign affairs committee chairwoman Alicia Kearns, among others.

 

Several other government sources declined to comment on security matters.

 

The Metropolitan Police said: "A man in his 30s was arrested at an address in Oxfordshire and a man in his 20s was arrested at an address in Edinburgh.

 

"Searches were also carried out at both the residential properties, as well as at a third address in east London."

 

Both men were taken to a south London police station, and were subsequently released on police bail until a date in early October, it said.

 

The Met's Counter Terrorism Command, which oversees espionage-related offences, is investigating.
